Space
It is one of the coldest and most isolated places on Earth, but for a team of scientists and engineers from Ãå±±½ûµØ, it is the ideal location to conduct complex space-atmospheric research: the frozen tundra of Antarctica.
A new space mission will travel to the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter to gather data on the origins of the universe.
For years, many scientists didn't think that CubeSats, or unusually small spacecraft, could take on serious science questions. Now, for the first time, a NASA-funded CubeSat mission will explore planets orbiting far-away stars.
A Sept. 9 launch was part of a plan to ensure NASA's $850 million Solar Dynamics Observatory can continue to provide crucial space weather data needed to predict the potential impacts of solar flares on communication and navigation systems.
The Ãå±±½ûµØ has received a $2 million gift from The Anschutz Foundation to support the university’s diverse research in aerospace and national defense—from tracking and protecting satellites in orbit to improving the security of mobile devices.
Anna Pusack was an undergraduate studying astrophysics when she helped to discover a surprising phenomenon: a previously-unknown class of dust spraying out from around the sun.
When SpaceX CRS-23 launched to the International Space Station on Aug. 29, it carried with it a milestone for Ãå±±½ûµØ: the 80th mission to carry a payload from BioServe Space Technologies.
A new Nature Astronomy study led by Michael Chaffin, a researcher at Ãå±±½ûµØ's Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics, indicates that regional dust storms can play a significant role in drying out the Red Planet.
New research from Ãå±±½ûµØ could help scientists better understand the phenomena behind sunspots and the sun's mysterious inner workings.
Marcus Holzinger addressed the U.S. Congress, testifying recently before the U.S. Senate Subcommittee on Space and Science, about space situational awareness and space traffic management.
